Mine's niicer than StormChasers . The boat has since been completed. I finished staining the seats, cleaning the interior/exterior and its equipped with a Minn Kota Enudra 55 trolling motor. Boats great for fresh water fishing. It was a fun restoration project. The boats as old as 1975.

I like the J cuz it's cheap to maintain, easy enough to single hand or double hand spinnaker division with competent crew. It is however very uncomfortable so most non sailors will only go once or twice.

Yeah, the Cat was a LOT cheaper to maintain and run. But there's no way I'd want to live on a C30. funny, the Grady gets used a LOT more than that Hatt. I think we put close to 500 hours on the Grady last year.

Do you live on the Hatt? I would be putting a lot more hours on the Grady just on gas purposes alone
